SSIS package to load Source Control Explorer details into a table

Question

Hi Guys,
We are maintaining our code in Source control explorer,TFS.
We have created a table in our database which will have columns like names, latest, last_checkin.
I like to read from TFS those values and load it into database.
We need to create reports based on the locations and send it to our client.
Any ideas or path i have to take in order to achieve this, will be very grateful.
Cheers!!!!!

Why would you use SSIS to read from TFS?
And then create a report?
Wrong design to my taste.
You need a lot of .Net code as you need TFS APIs used this way.
var server = RegisteredTfsConnections.GetProjectCollection(new Uri("http://hostname:8080/"));
var projects = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(server);
var versionControl = (VersionControlServer)projects.GetService(typeof(VersionControlServer));
var newestDate = DateTime.MinValue;
Item newestItem = null;
var items = versionControl.GetItems("$/theproject/trunk/setup/*.msi");
foreach (var item in items.Items)
if (item.ItemType != ItemType.File)
continue;
if (item.CheckinDate > newestDate)
newestItem = item;
newestDate = item.CheckinDate;
newestItem.DownloadFile("C:\\temp\\" + Path.GetFileName(newestItem.ServerItem));
this still can be done in a Script Task, but defeats the purpose of using ETL.
